Hamilton Airport claims International status with it's connecting flights to and from Austalia and some Pacific Islands. This is very handy for travellers south of Auckland, as it's less distance and very accessible. Hamilton Airport is the fourth busiest in the country and an important domestic airport with light aircraft and scheduled flights coming in and out frequently.
Fog is a bugbear though with delays when the conditions are at their worst.
Terminal has been extensively revamped 2008.
DEPARTURE LEVY: $5.00 per person.
